Salesforce.com is a cloud computing platform that allows users to access applications over the internet rather than installing software locally. It provides customer relationship management (CRM) functionality to organize, automate, and synchronize sales, marketing, customer service, and technical support across multiple channels. Salesforce uses a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture where the model represents system data, views present the data to users, and controllers handle user interactions. Key products include the Service Cloud for customer service and the Sales Cloud to connect sales teams to customers on any device. The Force.com platform allows building and running additional business applications in the cloud without servers to manage. It uses a multi-tenant architecture and metadata-driven development with access
